E=mc² costume designs

David Bintley, Director of Birmingham Royal Ballet, is creating a new piece as part of the Company's 2009 autumn season, entitled E=mc².

Here you can get a first look at the piece, in the form of Kate Ford's costume designs.

The designer explained that she wanted to achieve a very different feel for each section of the piece; Energy, Mass and Celeritas (swiftness or speed). 'It was also important that the dancers' physicality should reflect the elemental significance of each part of the equation,' she said, 'and so the costumes had to be very body-conscious.'

E=mc² is part of Birmingham Royal Ballet's autumn 2009 programme Quantum Leaps.
